I have been researching the various types of flu shots for old people. It boils down to the high capacity shot for three strains and the Quad shot with normal capacity...2 A strains and 2 B strains, if I am understanding things correctly.
Since old people like myself suffer from A strains more than B strains, my pharmacist says to get the high capacity tri shot for best protection as more antibodies will be made for A strains. He also said there was a "miscalculation" in which flavors to put in the shots and they are just now getting caught up....if you have heard differently, I would like to hear from you but I am hunting down a high capacity tri shot.
